What This Hack Does.
This hack add a userlike bot to your forums. You can set which forum he will post in and how often he will reply to poeples posts. He will try and build his replies off the text that they posted. This bot will learn overtime slowly from your users posts. I will also be seeing about porting over the teachbot soon.

acp controlled Rate Of Post
ability to post as bot and he will not reply
post count will not go up in forums where post counts are turned off
a few options to turn off and on a few things including the script itself.
Some other stuff i just cant remember
Fixed in 2.0.2:
Go advanced feature works for quick reply.

I have not forgotten. There has been a few big things going on lately that changed my original timelines for things and exactly how I will be going about things.
Yes with some minor changes, I have it going on 3.5.3 test board atm, no vb file edits are nessecary, smilies are broken atm but it is working with WYSiWYG/Normal/Newthread/reply and Ajax QuickReply, quoting seems ok and its RE: Threadtitle ok aswell.
Theres no CP settings either atm so to change these is something that has to be done in phpMyAdmin if your using the $usechanceofpost setting for now.
If Tim is happy for me to post how or even the updated file _talkerbot.php and plugin.xml in this thread and you dont mind it the way it is as above, while we await the new version 3 for 3.5, else I am afraid you will need to work out the few changes nessecary yourselves or wait till Tim is ready with the new version.
It would also be on the grounds that I am taking no credit for it, the changes are too minor, I will not be guaranteeing any support, but I dont see why exchanges of extra info to help finish a v2 update for 3.5 would be a bad thing. And no I am not trying to, nor want to take over the hack, I am just offering it as an aid to keep some happy during the transition of the new improved version that is coming.
Extra: Do not pm me regarding this either, I will not reply to them and you will just go straight into my ignore list.
